Voter suppression in the United States is various legal and illegal efforts to prevent eligible voters from exercising their right to vote. Where found,such voter suppression efforts vary by state,local government,precinct,and election. Voter suppression has historically been used for racial,economic,gender,age and disability discrimination. Before and during the American Civil War,most African-Americans had not been able to vote. After the Civil War,all African-Americans were granted voting rights,causing some Southern Democrats and former Confederate states to institute actions such as poll taxes or language tests that were ostensibly not in contradiction to the U.S. Constitution at the time,but were used to limit and suppress voting access,most notably African American communities that made up large proportions of the population in those areas,but in many regions the majority of the electorate as a whole was functionally or officially unable to register to vote or unable to cast a ballot. African Americans' access to registration and voting in the South was often difficult until the Civil Rights Act of 1964,and continues to be a subject of debate. American women did not have a constitutionally protected right to vote until the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920,while Native Americans' right to vote was not enacted fully until 1924 with the Indian Citizenship Act. Until 1971,with the passage of the Twenty-sixth Amendment,the minimum voting age in the United states was 21,not 18. A constitutional amendment improving voting accessibility for the elderly and handicapped was passed in 1984. According to the Brennan Center for Justice,as of March 24,2021,more than 361 bills that would restrict voting access have been introduced in 47 states.
